OTTAWA — Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh is not willing to break ranks with the minority Liberal government, even after criticizing the prime minister for failing to protect Canada's democracy.
"He may disagree with that intelligence, but I believe he has not taken the steps he should have to deal with this," Singh said."He has sent the message that he is willing to accept some level of foreign interference." "The suggestion that an election is a solution to election interference is, I think, a fallacy," Singh said.
The New Democrats will continue to use existing tools available to parliamentarians to find solutions to combat foreign interference, Singh said, but he did not specify what will be done. The committee said it believes that gap is why foreign governments — such as those of China and India — continue to view Canadian elections and institutions as easy targets to advance their agenda.
